For some reason, tonight I am in #CelticFC heaven.
Not felt like this since the May 3 1986 last-day triumph. We went to St Mirren in Paisley; Hearts to DundeeFC . Hearts 2pts & 4 goals ahead. All the clever money & the ‘neutrals’ (lol) were rooting for Hearts …

Every stop being pulled out by the usual suspects (whose timelines show not a jot of interest in Hearts or SPL) to reach for the old, derivative ‘tainted title’ disparagement of #CelticFC. Only a matter of time. The rage & desperation is at stroke-inducing levels.
God help them

The scale of anti-Celtic hysteria today has been absolutely staggering. One VAR decision and suddenly social media is overflowing with people desperate to unite behind anyone who can stop Celtic. Whether you thought it was a penalty or not almost became irrelevant within minutes.

We’ve seen this hatred for years & still Celtic stand tall. That’s what they can’t handle. So while they rage and obsess over us yet again, the Celtic support should take it as a reminder of exactly who we are and why this club will always carry a weight no one else can match.

Scotland has stepped back from the brink. But it’s no time for victory rhetoric.
Rather time to build on the broad consensus for better palliative care.
Hats off to MSP’s who had the courage to change their minds.

Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, a season of reflection, prayer, and renewal.
Try this today: Pause for 5 minutes, pray, or do one small act of kindness. 🥰
Let Lent begin with intention.

“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
These words are not meant to frighten us. They are meant to ground us. To remind us that life is fragile, precious, and held in God’s hands.
Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent — a time to return to the Lord with honesty and hope.
Join us for Holy Mass and the distribution of ashes:
🕊 7.00am
🕊 10.00am
🕊 7.00pm
Plan now. Make the space. Begin Lent well.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Blessed Mary, your Son has redeemed us from the perils of sin and death. Help us during the coming Lenten season to brighten the darkness in our world by being the light of Christ for our sisters and brothers everywhere.

Is it time to ban children under-16 from using social media?

Yesterday, the SNP chose not to safeguard legal protections for Catholic schools in their education bill. Time for the church to make them pay at the Scottish elections. This is last weekend’s column about it heraldscotland.com/news/2585…

Lent, an important period of reflection for Christians, begins today. We would like to wish our Christian communities a blessed Lent.
Our officers are on duty as always, keeping our communities safe.

A gorgeous festive moment at @UofGlasgow as the wonderful St Constantine’s PS choir joined us for Echoes of Christmas, led by our new University Children’s Choir Director, David Wynn-Evans. And a special treat from our @UofGlasgow nursery children too! #Christmas @nationalssp
